A new thing (at least it's the first time I've seen it)...

Russian 3.0 Rebuildable Tank Atomizer by UCT

RUSS30-2T.jpg


juice control, top fill, 5.5ml.

Since I'm a KFL fan, I'm interested.

Interested as well but really don't understand how that build deck on it is supposed to work and also wondering if a single coil build is possible. Hopefully some reviews shortly.

Single coil would run just like a KV4. Use two screws on opposite corners with the coil centered.

rlly? this has the screws in the exact same spot lol, its just has an extra air hole next too it where the kayfunv4 has one big hole in the middle lol its still $89 for a china product which was my original point

You are correct. I was viewing mobile. Had to find a good pic to zoom in on. Guess if you ran a coil long enough to go over both holes. Dunno how that would be with air hitting the sides and not the center.

From pics on vapor - too unnecessarily gimmicky for $120, sheeeesssshhh! It's like they ran out of ideas on improvements and slapped all these extra features JUST to appear competitive on the market.
I don't know where you see $120, and the coil in your avi isn't glowing evenly. :cool:

I received mine fro Vapor DNA a few hours ago.

It is well built and no oily smell. The threading is on par with most devices on the market today, but not up to the standards of higher end mods.

My major concern prior to purchasing was I am a mouth to lung vaper and prefer 1.2 - 1.6 ohm single coils at 14 - 18 watts and would I be able to successfully build i with a single coil.

After a wash and rinse I reassembled it (very easy) and made a 9/10 28 GA spaced coil running between opposite posts and it came out to 1.48 ohms. I made my standard coil on my Coil Master pulled it apart and pushed it back together. After mounting adjusted it so the coil ran over both air holes on the deck. Wicking was simple, think Kayfun, but with a shorter lower chimney.



Filling the tank was very easy. Five clicks of the juice control and unscrew the top.

I'm running the juice control half open with 70/30 VG/PG and no leaking, gurgling, or dry hits. I haven't tried filling with the juice control open. Only filled twice (a quarter tank for the first test and now full). Doubt I will as the juice control is very simple (5 clicks from fully open to fully closed).

My only complaint (minor) so far is the air flow, while adjustable only has detentes for fully open and closed. I'm currently running it 3/4 closed for the mouth to lung draw I like. It does stay but could be bumped off a bit either way.

Fully open it gives an airy draw I would describe (as a mouth to lung vaper) as a slightly restricted lung draw, slightly less air than subtank fully open. I did try it, but won't generally use it.

After two hours I do like it and will continue to us it and would recommend it.

@BulletStopper Thanks so much for the great little review, for I haven't wanted to go through with the purchase until I saw any good, solid reviewers say good things about it. Can you tell me if the wicking is easy? Do you even have to lay the wicks in any specific area and style, or will the enormous slots for juice control just saturate the cotton however it is wicked in there? It seems like it makes wicking a much easier ordeal than most rtas out in the market.

Wicking was very easy. Cut a strip add Japanese organic cotton, twisted one end and threaded it though the coil.

Screwed the ring on, the top on it is just below the top on my coil.

Cut the end about half way between the chimney and the atty.

Fluffed the ends a bit and pushed them in the area between the deck and the chimney, juiced it and away I went.

I rewicked today (changed flavor), had I thought it, I would have taken some photos.

I did set the juice flow wide open for a while yesterday without any issues. Closed it back to half - why temp fate. The channels from the tank are outside the ring and juice flows up to the wick from a gap unter the ring.

2 days of use and this is my favorite tank I've owned (kayfun lite, squape, cthulhu 2, crown, STM, billow V2, GEM). Taste for me is on par with most.

I did notice yesterday that after opening the deck (to show to a friend) I did get a couple of drops of juice where it screwed together. Did appear to be a leak, maybe pressure pushed it out. Not really an issue, required a wipe off.

I can't speak about a dual coil build as that isn't how a vape. It does look a bit small. I might try it sometime but I doubt it. I'm generally a lazy vapor and want something that meets my needs without too much effort. But, I'm also too cheap to use replaceable coils (did that in my protank days).

My only complaint (minor) is lack of detents on the airflow ring. It does generally stay where I set it - about 3/4 closed.
